It is a safe, painless alternative to traditional cavity drilling procedure
Ideally e- SDFΒ helps in Preventing and arresting dental caries & immediate relief from dentinal hypersensitivity
Research on use of Silver Diamine FluorideΒ saysΒ exposure toΒ one drop ofΒ SDF orally would result in less fluoride ion contentΒ than isΒ present in a 0.25 mLΒ topical treatment of fluoride varnish. The exact amount of silver and fluoride present in one drop ofΒ SDF is determined by the specific gravity of the liquid and theΒ dropper used.
TheΒ main disadvantage of SDFΒ is its esthetic result (i.e., permanently blackens enamel and dentinal caries lesions andΒ creates a temporary henna-appearing tattoo if allowed to comeΒ in contact with skin).Β Skin pigmentationΒ isΒ temporaryΒ sinceΒ the silver does not penetrate the dermis
Practical Applications in the following cases:
- High caries-risk patients with anterior or posterior activeΒ cavitated lesions
- havioral or medical management challenges
- Patients with multiple cavitated caries lesions that may notΒ all be treated in one visit
- Difficult to treat cavitated dental caries lesions
- Patients without access to or with difficulty accessing dental care
- Active cavitated caries lesions with no clinical signs of pulp involvement.
